Commentary on Truck Accident in Big Bend National Park

There are certainly a lot of unusual details surrounding this event, but it's important folks don't just write this whole thing off. People tend to see a single-truck accident and assume the driver was being reckless or perhaps suffered a medical emergency. Those are factors worth looking into, but even things like examining the truck's seatbelts, brakes, whether or not other safety features functioned properly, cargo shifts, and other less likely possibilities warrant consideration. At the end of the day, getting people the help they need means letting the evidence speak for itself.
